Moreover, the credits must be presented in the Practical Skills Record.

Students are obliged to possess necessary knowledge of the currently studied material contained in the plan of study for the tutorials and seminars, as verification of their knowledge is carried out systematically. Form of the aforementioned verification of knowledge, including the content, terms and method of grading, shall be determined by the teacher conducting the particular academic classes at the first meeting with the Students (scale of grades is the same as the one at examinations- see: below).

Form and conditions for obtaining final credit:

Condition for admission to the examination is obtaining credit for a particular subject (according to sec. C).

Scope of material and knowledge required for the examination is compliant with the educational effects contained in the Syllabus and covers the matters presented at tutorials, lectures and seminars and contained in the recommended literature.

Written examinations of subjects realized in the form of "blocks" take place twice per academic year: in winter and summer semesters, on the dates agreed with the Year's President. Oral examinations of these subjects may be conducted in the form of "continuous exam sessions".

Students taking the examination must prove their identity with an ID (or any document proving their identity).

The final exam has a form of a multiple-choice test consisting of 120 questions with 5 answers each, out of which only one is correct. Duration of the exam depends on the length of the test (less than 35,000 characters => 120 min., 35,000 to 38,000 characters => 130 min., 38,000 to 41,000 characters => 140 min., 41,000 to 44,000 characters => 150 min., 44,000 to 47,000 characters => 160 min., more than 47,000 characters => 180 min.).

Having completed the examination in the test form, but before leaving the examination room, a Student is entitled to submit a written reservation concerning the correctness of the test questions or typographical errors. Submitted reservations shall be verified before announcement of the results. When the submitted reservation has been acknowledged, the questions subject to the reservation shall be omitted, which will decline the number of points available.

Within 3 days from announcement of the results a Student  in presence of an academic teacher  is allowed to view his/her work and the answers card.

A Student who has not passed the examination is entitled to take one retake in the oral form in the term determined by the Head of the Unit announced one month in advance, or earlier, by mutual consent. At the request of a Student in justified cases the Dean may decide on organization of the examination before the examination board ('commission').

At the examination Students are forbidden to use any aids or notes or any devices enabling the visual registration of examination texts or distant communication (such as mobile phones). Student's conduct suggesting possession of any aids or devices referred to above, or confirmed possession of the above, shall result in obtainment of grade "fail" for the examination and in bringing the case to the Students' disciplinary commission.

Student's failure to appear for the examination is governed by the provisions of the Rules of Studies (Chapter VIII, Part 36, sec. 6).

Conditions for making up for the classes that were abandoned due to justified reasons or classes not credited by other reasons

It is forbidden to miss the classes without a formal excuse, that is why the unjustified absence from tutorial prevents crediting of the thematic block.

Absence at the classes must be excused immediately after the reason for absence ceases.

Absence resulting from medical condition requires submission of medical certificate (one-day absence may be excused without the medical certificate), and in special cases - without a relevant certificate.

Excused absence from tutorial means that tutorial cannot be credited and the student must in the shortest possible period of time credit the relevant material.

Tutorials and seminars must be made up for in the terms and forms specified by the Head for education-related matters. A Student may not have such term decided on the date he/she has other classes, according to the timetable.

Student's failure to make up for the classes prevents him/her from taking the tests and exams.

Lectures are compulsory - Student's presence is confirmed by the knowledge of lecture-related matters, included in the tests and exams.

General and detailed Health and Safety Regulations required for realization of the educational process at the unit

Before attending the classes the Students are obliged to leave their outwear in the cloakroom and turn off their mobile phones.
